When Ah Hao's father came over, it was already the afternoon of the next day.
On the one hand, it was very common for slaves to be beaten with a cane, so there was no need to make a fuss. Furthermore, as a male servant, it was difficult for him to enter the backyard. He hesitated and dragged his feet on summoning the courage to file a complaint. Unexpectedly, the housekeeper unexpectedly
It was extremely refreshing, and Ah Hao's father was surprised and happy at the same time. However, the way those women looked at him made him feel terrified...
"Go, go, pick him up early..." they shook their heads and said.
Could it be that we won’t be allowed to stay in Qiutongyuan from now on? That’s fine, Qiutongyuan is not a good place either, Ah Hao’s father thought to himself.
It was already afternoon. Standing outside the door, I felt that it was so quiet in Qiutong Courtyard that there seemed to be no one alive...
Ah Hao Dad shuddered, raised his hand and slapped himself gently.
He raised his hand and knocked gently on the door. After knocking for a long time, he heard someone approaching.
"Uncle, you're here." Aru opened the door and said.
Looking at Ah Ru's pale face and swollen, bloodshot eyes, Ah Hao's father was shocked.
"If her mother is not here, why is she still a working girl..." He said apologetically.
Aru sighed.
"Uncle, are you coming to visit again tomorrow? Today... disinfect... to prevent the inconvenience of infection..." She said those strange words forcefully, and as expected, Ah Hao's father looked confused.
"Then I'll come back another day. Tell her mother that I've taken leave of absence for her. If that doesn't work, take Ah Hao back and cause trouble to the girl and young lady here..." Ah Hao's father simply didn't ask any more questions.
He nodded and said.
"Okay, I understand." Ah Ru replied. Watching Ah Hao's father walk away, she gently closed the door and entered the house quietly, and saw Qi Yue standing in the house.
"Young madam, why are you up? Let's rest for a while..." she whispered hurriedly.
Qi Yue lowered herself to check Ahao's body temperature, pulse and breathing, and then looked at the quilt to check her abdomen.
"Mrs. Madam, as you said, I checked my temperature a moment ago..." Aru hurriedly whispered, looking at the strange thing called a thermometer placed aside, "Yes...it's thirty-seven...three degrees."
.”
After the operation last night, Qi Yue stayed up all night until daybreak before taking a rest at Aru's begging. Before leaving, he taught her how to check her temperature. Aru reluctantly learned to write down those things she had never seen before for counting.
of numbers.
"It's a little high, but it's normal." Qi Yue breathed a sigh of relief, "If Ah Hao wakes up again, change her position..."
Aru nodded.
Ahaoniang came in from outside, holding a wine bottle in her hand.
"Young Madam...this is ready..." She looked at Qi Yue with a bit of awe and said.
Qi Yue took it, took an antibiotic and injected it.
This is a drip device made of an injection needle barrel and a rubber tube for injection strapping. It contains physiological saline that absolutely failed the random inspection, but was incomparable to nothing, to replenish Ah Hao's body fluids.
"Young Madam, Ah Hao, is she..." Ah Hao Niang couldn't help but asked in a low voice.
"Observe and observe again. If there is no infection or bleeding again, Ah Hao has passed the test." Qi Yue inserted the needle into Ah Hao's arm and hung the wine bottle on a makeshift clothes rack and said, "It's okay."
Her injury this time is not serious, so she doesn’t need to be removed..."
Ah Haoniang, however, looked at her daughter with a sad look on her face. She didn't believe Qi Yue's words at all. The scene of opening her belly last night was really scary... and looking at the strange tube inserted in her daughter's body now is even more scary.
….
But what can be done about this? This is the fate of being a slave... It does not belong to you before or after life, it is just the plaything of the master.
Although she said it was easy, Qi Yue was not at all relaxed. What she learned and was used to was performing operations in the operating room, with various monitoring instruments around her, and countless antibiotics, liquids and other medicines to help her. When she left that environment, she felt like
Children who have just learned to walk are usually too nervous to take steps, so she is really unsure of the success rate.
At night, Ah Hao was completely awake. There were injuries on the front and back, and the surgical incision hurt so much that it was very painful for him to lie on his stomach instead of on his back.
Ah Haoniang was so surprised that she almost fainted again. She couldn't believe that after opening her stomach, a person could actually come back to life. She ran to Qi Yue and kowtowed to her, unable to stop herself.
The same is true for Aru. Although she begged Qi Yue, she just sought medical treatment in a hurry. She didn't have much hope in her heart. She didn't expect...
"It's better to suffer than to die," Ahaoniang said, wiping her tears.
"Is there really a hole in my stomach? Is this tube coming out of my stomach?" Ah Hao asked weakly and curiously, not much scared, but moaning in pain.
"Mom was scared to death and didn't see anything..." Ahaoniang said.
When Ahru recalled that time, fear appeared on his face.
"Sister Ah Ru is also scared." Ah Hao grinned weakly, which caused pain in the wound. She gasped again, scaring Ah Ru and Ah Hao Niang to look carefully.
"Yeah, I couldn't help at all. I originally wanted to help, but I didn't expect..." Aru smiled with a bit of shame.
"Well, I was scared when I stitched up your brother's wound last time," Ah Hao said.
"Young madam, have you treated Ah Ru's brother?" Ah Haoniang asked in surprise.
Ah Ru glanced at Ah Hao, and Ah Hao also remembered that they had agreed not to tell others that the young lady could cure illnesses.
"Mom, don't tell anyone." She raised her hand to hold her mother and said urgently.
"I know." Ahaoniang smiled and patted her daughter's hand, then looked at Aru, "Mom is not the kind of person who talks nonsense."
"How do you feel?" Qi Yue came in from outside and asked with a smile.
Ah Hao smiled at her.
"Looks like you're in good spirits. Come on, let me see if there's any damage to the wound." Qi Yue smiled and took the stethoscope to check.
Ah Hao Niang looked at her from the side and couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear. This expression, the tone of her words, and the strange tool probing around her daughter's body, my God, I have never seen it before... It's really true.
.. What a ghost, she couldn't help but her legs softened and she knelt down again.
Qi Yue and Aru both turned to look at her, with puzzled expressions on their faces.
"Thank you so much, madam..." Ahaoniang kowtowed and said.
"You're here again, you're welcome." Qi Yue smiled.
The two-day observation period passed smoothly. There was no infection, no further bleeding, and no other complications. The girl was still alive. Qi Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the bench in the yard looking at the blue sky.
You can go back now...
Dad, I already know why you want me to go to the country hospital...
Dad, I will no longer be joking and taking things seriously...
Can you go back?
Someone gently put a thin blanket on her, and Qi Yue opened her eyes.
"Young madam, you can take a nap, I'll keep an eye on Ah." Ah Ru said hurriedly, her sleeves rolled up high and her hands were wet.
Ah Hao's wound hurt, and there was no anesthetic here. Qi Yue asked everyone to talk to her more and divert her attention to relieve the pain. Therefore, there were always two of the three of them guarding Ah Hao.
Qi Yue shook her head.
"I'm not sleepy, but you should go and take a nap after washing. I haven't slept much in the past two days." She said, looking towards the yard. There were several ropes set up in the small yard, which were covered with white sun.
A list of clothes, big and small.
Aru smiled and said I was fine, then went into the kitchen and took out the surgical instruments that were boiling in the pot.
"Young lady, are these also allowed to dry in the sun?" she asked.
Qi Yue nodded.
The master and servant were talking, when footsteps and low voices sounded outside the door.
"Who is it?" Aru put down the things in his hands and shouted outside.
It was quiet outside.
"Miss Aru, um... we are here to see if we can help..." a woman said hesitantly.
Qi Yue smiled and signaled Aru to open the door. The door opened, and there were four or five women standing outside with serious faces and eyes rolling. The leader was Mrs. Liu.
"Young Madam..." Madam Liu said hurriedly when she saw Qi Yue. Before she could finish her words, she saw the sunbathing all over the yard and her eyes widened in surprise. She forgot what she was going to do, "This, this... why are there so many of you?"
White cloth…”
"Oh, he must be dead..."
The other women also looked around in surprise and whispered.
"Young madam, this is not possible! If a person dies, he must be carried away immediately..." Mrs. Liu immediately shouted. Before she finished speaking, her eyes widened again, and she immediately screamed, "Ghost!"
The other women also followed her gaze and looked over. They all screamed in fear and took two steps back, huddled together and trembled.
Ah Hao was supported by his mother and stood at the door of the house. His body was slightly stooped due to injuries and his face was weak, but he was still alive.
"I told you to get up!" Qi Yue jumped up from the chair in shock, "Get in quickly, you won't be able to get out of bed for at least half a month! What a nonsense!"
Ah Hao was in so much pain that she was shaking all over, but she still stubbornly wanted the women to see her clearly, and then Ah Hao Niang helped her back and closed the door.
Qi Yue was so angry that he followed her and scolded her in a low voice at the door, then turned around and looked at the women.
"What are you here for?" Qi Yue asked.
"Young... Young... Madam... how come you're not dead?" Mrs. Liu was still in shock and stammered.
"Panzui!" Qi Yue shouted with raised eyebrows, "What did you say?"
Only then did Mrs. Liu realize that she had made a mistake and apologized hurriedly.
"Mom, don't you understand what I'm saying?" Qi Yue asked with a sneer.
Mrs. Liu was stunned and smacked her lips... She looked a little unwilling.
"Going back to the young madam, I still have some errands with the madam. I don't dare to stay for a long time. After waiting for the errands with the madam, I will come to the young madam to receive my punishment." She gritted her teeth and said, standing up straight and looking at
With Qi Yue.
Qi Yue was not as angry as she expected, but instead softened her expression.
"Oh, then go ahead." She smiled and nodded.
This young lady has a temper that keeps people a little confused...
The women who had thought of a countermeasure were like lit firecrackers soaked in the fire, with gloomy expressions on their faces, bowed low and bowed before retreating.
"Look, they are all ready to carry the body..." A mocking smile appeared on Qi Yue's lips, "What kind of hatred is there that is worth killing people like this? This is a human life..."
"Young lady, maybe it was an accidental injury..." Aru said after hesitation.
Ah Hao received the cane punishment, but the fatal blow was the kick in front of him.
"Even if it is a misunderstanding, it is because there are opportunities for people to misunderstand..." Qi Yue sighed and smiled, "It seems that if you fall behind, you will be beaten. It is a truth that has never changed and is universally applicable."
Aru looked at her puzzled.
"Aru, did you say that the old lady asked me to be the housekeeper?" Qi Yue looked at her and asked suddenly. (To be continued)
